The Hon. JAMES M. l'ofirrEn, brother
,r Ex-Gov. DAvin R., and President of
t Judicial District away up anion;.{ the
• beach wolds" in the .north-eastern part
If the State, .charged the Grand Jury of
Wayne county, at the opening of the
December -Term of Court, and "took'
weasion to direct attention to ale law
relative to conspiracy." •
'"Ile instructed the jt4 that Know-Noth
n,;•istn was a conspiracy, indictable and pun-
Allahle :Ls such, and that it• they know or its

In noticing this instinction, the Fdi
u)r of the //m/esdat, b,m,llyol, who was

!leen more in accordance with present
sentiment if he had instructed the I ;rand
Jury to indict the leaders of that politi
...al conspiracy whereby he was made
['resident Judge of that 'Judicial I)is
trict." The cases are no doubt , very
!ouch alike, though not parallel. 'We
think that we have beard it stated lately
that Jut re PorrrEtt had had an attack of
some sort of illness that slightly deranged
his upper story, and it is well-known that
,Gen. Jackson thought Mr. Penton had
never fully recovered from the blowing
up he got when the big gun exploded on
board of the Princeton. The K. N's.
had better fight shy of Judge Porter—
he has "laid down the la','' and they
should respect it accordingly,,, says the
York Republican.
HARD TIMES.
What arc the causes that produce there
hard times ? There is but one answer—
tAe searrit,y of atoll ;q. And why is mo
iiey seareer There are many I -wet - en - tied
answers to this, hut there is wily 011 C trite
answer: It is beCtl use we are great fiy
crs abroad, instrad living great latyers
,11 luny. We send all our money to Eu
rope, to pay fur goods that we should
manufacture ourselves ; and so long as
this continues, and We pay other nations
from fifty to a hundred millions a year
more than they pay us, and hence require
that amount annually from us in coin, it
-will take all the gold of California to
meet our foreign indelAcdness, .without
keeping off the hard times idler all.

haNing been purchased by Jacob Zeigler,
Esq., .will—'hereafter be edited and pub
lished by . him. The Philadelphia Daily
News says, ''Mr. Zeigler is a gentleman of
talents and a clever fellow, whose only
blemish is that of being a deep-dyed 'Loco

success in a pecuniary point of view, and
no greater harm, politically, than that of
being no more successful in bolstering up

'compliment to the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company : "'Phis is one of the finest
improvements of the age.. We recently
travelled over it from Philadelphia to
Pittsburg, and were dolighted. The ar
rangements throughout are of the most
perfect description, tind the agents exert
themselves, to the utmost to afford satis
faction. The road is indeed an "honor to
'the - State and - the 'nation - ,, and is especial

worthy,the attention and patronage of

um,,lhrashington Union, as be
comes an obedient and faithful organ,
goes into a spasm of rapturous delight
over the Message. It considers it a lit='
tle the greatest document since'the Dec
laration of Independence. "It is im
posSible," says the Union, "to overrate
the salutary effects of such a paper in
the present condition of the works." In
deed, we suspect the Union thinks that
when the Message .reaches Sebastopol,
the Allies and Russians will throw away
their •;(rms and fraternally embrace.—
"Never before," sings the organ ) " was
the value of good government to a free
people more eloquently portrayed."—
Washington had a knack. of saying good
things on the subject, and Adams and
other ola' fellows sometimes threw off a
stray thought or two, but Frank Pierce
beats them all. The following, however,
says the Boston A this, which presents
the President of the United States in the
light of a showman, caps the climax :
"A t moment when the civilized world is
disturbed hv wasting wars and grave apptc-,
'tensions, Franklin Pierce, the thief Magis4
trate of the .Imerican republic, unfolds a
picture of happiness, equality, progress and

OUP. REORESENTATIVES ABROAD.
The American people must feel a thrill
of national pride, when they reflect upon
the character of our Diplomatic corps in
Europe. Soule perm itivd to go through
France,—Daniels expelled from a whist
and supper club—Sickels and Saunders
outezists—and nearly the whole diplo
matie representation abroad in a state of
social outlawry; bei'ng only admitted into
cumpany_toilie,*(), and then to avoid, col
lisions with the j'iliteet States. Such
is the consequenk of progtituting the
federal patronage abroad as well' as at
home, to give money and consequence
to a parcel of nincompoops who do nut
know how to behave in company; and
it is to such men as these, win) represent
our country, and disgrace it, and get
into scrapes and want the United States
to fight tl em out of it. But the count
ries they nsult are not Greytown, and
the rya' e will
,not be sent to France or
'34r,dinia

brave exploit must be limited to a de
fenceless and helpless village:

several thousand men have already reached

the militia for tilling the army is said to
have been proposed. England and France
have notified Prns!a and Austria that they
will not now treat on the basis of the note
°Me four powers. Forty thousand Turks
were to be immediately sent to the CriMea,
the blockade of . Odessa to be renewed,'and
a powerful diversion made in Bessarabia.—
at the battle of Inkermann, on the sth, the
Russians loss was 15,000 men. The Ito's
sians have invaded Ilackhara, and defeated
50,000 troops of the Khan. In China, the

NATURA LIZATION LAWS.—On MOlldity of
last week,ili - tlitiSete °Me Untted , T . Ca
Mr. Adams, of Mississippi, introduced a bill
to amend the Naturalization laws. It pro
poses to require henafter a residence of
twenty-ones years before a foreigner Call 11C
uire the right of. citizenship. It does.not
propose to affect the rights or principles of
any person now in the conatry and elainling
under existing laws. .Ho went into an town-
meta to sustain his till, and gave many sta
tistics on the suljeet—from which he con
cluded :that one hundred years hence this
entire continent will be necessary for the
wants of ourdeseendynts without the addition
of foreigners, and he deemed it our duty to
preserve-the--fair heritage for our children,
and not to lavish it On those who held no
share either-in-achie-‘'ing our independence,
maintaining our free institutions, or develop
ing the resources of the country. The bill,
was referred to the Committee on the Judi•

case, which grew out of the arrest "of the
tinted States Deputy Marshals engaged in
idle attempted capture of Rill Thomas. an al
leged fugitive slave, at Wilkes harre last year,
has been before the Supreme Court of this
State and Chief Justice Lewis gave the deci
sion or die Court un Tuesday. It will be rt.t: -
membered that the officers engaged in tffi•
attempt to capture the slave were arrested on
a hill of indictment found by the Cotirt of
Lucerne county, for assault and attempt to
kill,lnn that .Judge Kane, of the United States
District Court r discharged them. They were.,
re-arrested by order of the Supreme Court,
and while in the custody of the Sheriff were
taken before the United. States Circuit Court
on a writ of habeas ewpas, and on hearing
the testimony Judge Greer ordered the Sheriff
to discharge tin m. He obeyed the mandate.,
The present action WEIS fur an attachment
against the Sheriff for contempt of Court.—
The decision declares that the United States
Circuit Court had no jurisdiction, and that
the Sheriff N ' V 11 s guilty of contempt in obey
ing the order for the release of the officers,
but as he acted through igninance the at
tachment is not granted.
ALAii !—The annual Report of the
Secretary of the Treasury shows that during
the past year our iniports have been $3O-1,-
562,281, and our exports only $278,211,061:
showing n balance against us of over twenty
six millions of dollars! And among our ex
ports is thirty-eight millions of dollars in
gold—so that the whole amount to be paid in
coin will be over sixty-four millions qi dol

that not enough ? And yet the President
still asks further 'change in 14Voi of Free

trtdpoliey?

A NoTH Eli LIFE: LOST.—We are sorry
to hear of the sudden death of a worth• and
industrious young man, Mr. John Slash, of
Silver Spring township. It appears that; on
lust Mondny, two weeks, Mr. S. went to the
woods, where some men were at work felling
trees ; a large tree, in falling struck against
another, which broke off and threw back,
with great fore,g, a large limb, the end of
which struck and "p4krated into the abdo
men of Mr. S., leaving an opening throtigh
which the intestines-Trot-railed. He was ims
mediately carried to his home, where he ling
ered until Thursday, when death put an end

the busy note of preparation that is goingon
